The Gift of Summer

This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.—Amos 8:1 (NIV)

Summer is here! Rejoice as we enter the season filled with blessings: the fragrant smell of flowers blooming, relaxing with family, soaking up the sun. Each day offers new opportunities to experience God’s grace and draw us closer to Him.

Father God, thank You for the gift of summer, for moments where we take a break from the busyness of life and appreciate everything we have. Thank You for today.

Be Your Best

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

Turn to the empowering Scripture above when you need encouragement to face difficult situations. Turn your focus to filling your heart with God’s strength. He won’t let you down.

Lord, when I get upset, I know that holding on to Your promises will center me, and give me the courage to help me see that every problem is an opportunity for me to be my best.

The Secret of Surrender

Surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purpose.—Romans 6:13 (TEV)

Surrender can have a bad connotation in our culture: It can mean that you gave up or lost a battle. But when it comes to faith, surrendering to God is key to experiencing His love and mercy. Surrendering or offering yourself to Him, trusting and obeying His instructions even when they don’t make sense—these actions make you a winner in God’s eyes, for they are the heart of your faith.

Lord, I am trying each and every day to let go of my desires in exchange for Your righteous purpose.

Digital Detox

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.—1 Timothy 6:17 (NIV)

It is easy to be distracted by technology—a second to check social media or email can turn into an hour of missed time with your family or enjoying the beauty that God has placed before you. Make a commitment to unplug during your vacation or family time—and keep it! You won’t regret being present in the precious moments that you share with your loved ones.

Heavenly Father, I want to fully experience the wonder of the world and the blessing of my family. Guide me to plug into my life and my loved ones and all that is truly important.

Should You Fear God?

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.—Proverbs 9:10 (KJV)

What does it mean to fear God? Author JoHannah Reardon gives her insight as: “Fearing God keeps us from fearing anything else. Because God also loves perfectly, we can trust him and know that one so powerful will conquer all else that we fear in the world. Perfect love balances fear.”

Heavenly Father, teach me to trust and fear You, for I know true comfort comes from having You as a daily presence in my life.

Facing a Difficult Decision

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

When you are facing a difficult decision, turn to God. Pray about your options and ask Him for guidance and the ability to see the situation from all perspectives. Then be still and wait for His insight to come to you.

Dear Lord, I come to You, the source of all wisdom. Fill me with Your knowledge. Help me make the right decision.

Have a Happy Spirit

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”—Luke 11:28 (NIV)

As Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Your thoughts can change your life,” and the most positive thoughts are stated in the Bible. The Word of God is alive. When you fill your mind with Scripture, the Word becomes part of you, guiding your actions, leading you to live a secure life—free from fear and filled with meaning.

Lord, thank You for the gift of Your Word that fills my spirit with purpose and meaning!

From the Heart

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.—1 John 4:16 (NIV)

Everything that God does for us is out of love. Often we misunderstand His intentions and see the world through a lens of judgement or punishment—and we adopt that same viewpoint of judging others or seeing a downward turn of life’s circumstances as the result of wrongdoing. Instead, shift your view to reflect on God’s intention of shaping our actions and intentions to come from a place of love and compassion.

Heavenly Father, guide me to treat others with heart—to see the world through a filter of love.

Love Your Shape

So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them… Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!—Genesis 1:27, 31 (NLT)

As we enter into bathing suit season, the time of year when you might be tempted to look in the mirror and judge your reflection, shift your focus to the above verse. If you find yourself being critical, recognize that God designed every part of you. You are His masterpiece! You are His child.

Dear Lord, guide me to see the beauty that You created in me.

God Will Provide

And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.—Genesis 22:14 (KJV)

The Old Testament uses the name Jehovahjireh meaning “God Will Provide.” Like Abraham, you can be confident that God will provide the resources to fill your needs. When you turn to Him in prayer, there is no doubting or hesitation, because your faith is larger than your circumstance.

Heavenly Father, I know that You will supply all of my needs according to Your riches in glory.
